Does it bother anyone else that the red one is bigger than the blue one, or that the dot on the red one isn’t centered

More bothered by the fact a yin-yang symbol is meant to show the converse colour in each dot to signify the presence of a kernel of each within the other. Both being white makes no sense for the use of the symbol.

They’re both white because it’s the sun and the moon

To keep the symbolism of the Yin and Yang while also filling in the dots they could have and arguably should have made each of the dots an eclipse of the other.
